Al-Ghazali and Descartes from doubt to certainty: a phenomenological approach

Resumen

Este artículo aclara la relación entre Al-Ghazali y René Descartes, para articular similitudes y diferencias en sus respectivos periplos desde la duda a la certidumbre. Algunos investigadores concuerdan en que los argumentos de la duda que emplean Descartes y AlGhazali son similares, pero identifi can sus caminos desde la duda como radicalmente diferentes: mientras Descartes encontró la superación de la duda mediante el cogito o la razón, Al-Ghazali fi nalizó su Aventura fi losófi ca como un Sufi , abrumado por su experiencia místico-religiosa. Este artículo demuestra lo contrario. Bajo un cuidadoso escrutinio textual y aprovechando algunos conceptos fenomenológicos básicos de Husserl, planteo que la posición de AlGhazali fue malinterpretada, y así revelo su verdadera naturaleza filosófica.
